Member Orientation

Hospitals and health systems benefit from membership in both CHA and the Regional Associations. The Associations shape policies through a unified voice on health care issues important to California hospitals and patients. In addition, the Associations — with the Hospital Quality Institute — provide educational programs and operational support to members to improve quality and patient safety.

The CHA brochure and annual member value report provide an excellent overview of the services members receive. Below is a more detailed summary of the benefits available to our hospital and health system members.

Representation & Advocacy

Calls to Action
CHA’s Advocacy Alerts are grassroots calls to action that notify members of the need to contact legislators about a bill or state/federal agencies about specific regulations.

Legislative Update
Produced weekly during each state legislative session, Legislative Update details the high-priority health care-related bills CHA tracks on behalf of hospitals and health systems.

CHA Regulatory Tracker
This handy tracker allows members to view current and pending regulations, with open comment periods and CHA’s related activity.

Report on Legislation
Produced at the end of each legislative session, the report is an excellent reference for newly enacted state legislation impacting health care.

Leadership Opportunities

CHA Centers & Committees
Through specialty centers, committees, work groups and taskforces, members provide guidance to CHA on health care policies and issues. The groups link CHA and individual hospitals and help us serve the unique requirements of hospitals and health systems. More information about each center and committee, along with details about how to get involved, is available through the links below.
